A man was stabbed to death days before authorities found his body in a bathtub at a Palm Springs hotel over the weekend, documents released on Wednesday show.

These details were released in a criminal complaint filed against Rogelio Cruz Maciel, 36, who is charged with murder in the fatal stabbing at the Musicland Hotel on South Palm Canyon Drive.

Maciel, of Palm Desert, pleaded not guilty to all counts during his arraignment on Wednesday at the Larson Justice Center in Indio. He is due back in court Sept. 20 for a felony settlement conference. He remained on Wednesday at the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning with bail set at $1.02 million.

Palm Springs police found the victim about noon Saturday during a welfare check on guests who hadn't checked out of their rooms. But according to the complaint, the murder may have occurred three days earlier, on Sept. 5.

The complaint identifies the victim as J. Banks. Police haven't confirmed the victim's full name, but relatives have said his name is Jason Banks and they have launched a GoFundMe account to raise money for funeral expenses.

"Jason was loved by many. He had an old soul and cared for everyone he held close to his heart. He had a smile that could warm you for days," they wrote on the GoFundMe page.

Police arrested him Sunday afternoon on San Nicholas Avenue in Palm Desert. They continue to investigate the relationship between Maciel and Banks while trying to determine a motive that led to the slaying.

Authorities have said Maciel "has an extensive criminal history involving violent crimes and narcotics sales."

Court records show his previous arrests and convictions date to at least 2001 and include a July 2017 conviction stemming from a domestic violence incident involving his mother.

According to court documents, Maciel tried to prevent her from calling police when she became worried he would cause a disturbance. He took her cell phone and then pushed it into her face, records show. Maciel also grabbed and squeezed his mother's face and put her in a bear hug, forcing her to struggled to breathe, investigators said.
